Chapter 372 - 167: Star Sea Phenomenon, The Stele-Bearing Martial God (Part 4)
"At that time, students will make a choice between two major directions."
"Scholarly Research and Personal Cultivation."
"For Scholarly Research, you could view it as the study and refinement of martial arts-related theories, along with numerous associated matters; the Researcher Zhong Yi you know has chosen this path."
"As for Personal Cultivation, it is about focusing more on one’s own cultivation, continuing to forge through the martial path relentlessly. Your mentor, Mentor Gu Huang, is a prominent example of this route."
"Of course, these two do not conflict; they complement each other. The path of martial arts cannot be perfected without the joint effort of both. Choosing the path of the Martial Artist means clearing obstacles and climbing peaks endlessly; choosing the path of the Scholar means diligently researching and silently cultivating."
"Take, for example, the Divine Martial Furnace in the martial arts path that has greatly saved the Condensing Intent time for the Martial Arts Family—it was ultimately completed by the Federation Martial God but the initial ideas and proposals came from individuals in professions related to martial arts research."
Like chatting with a friend, Candle Kite spoke slowly.
Reaching this point, she changed the subject: "Your combat power demonstrated in the Limit-Breaking Cup completely meets and even exceeds the standards of the third academic year. Assigning you tasks at the intensity of the first academic year would only be a waste of time, offering no training effect."
"Therefore..."
"After comprehensive consideration, you will become the most unique presence among first-year students."
She enumerated the changes.
"The daily courses of the academy will remain unchanged; they are your necessary knowledge accumulation."
"The task mode will change."
Candle Kite’s gaze fell on Qin Jin’s identity card, whispering: "You, like the students of the next cycle, will have the qualification to choose tasks yourself during the task period."
"Of course, the baseline difficulty of specific tasks will see an increase."
"Aside from a few special tasks, there will no longer be a guiding mentor during task execution; everything will be decided by you."
"Besides, courses for higher-year students will be opened to you and can become elective courses you actively choose."
"The academy will tailor exclusive courses for you one by one, to be progressively opened."
Candle Kite stopped speaking.
"That’s roughly everything."
"Qin Jin, according to the academy’s initial results, the training plan related to you will proceed dynamically. As long as your performance is excellent enough, it will continue to change."
"If you have requirements related to martial cultivation, you can tell me."
"The academy will do its best to satisfy them after assessment."
The vehicle moved forward.
At this moment, it stopped at the entrance of the dormitory area.
Qin Jin got out of the vehicle, looked at Candle Kite, and nodded slightly, "I understand."
He exhaled a long breath.
Although the Limit-Breaking Cup has ended, the subsequent impact remains.
The attitude of the academy undoubtedly clarified that he should release all burdens and hesitations, cultivate wholeheartedly, and enhance himself.
This is the influence of the overall environment.
In terms of martial arts, after reaching the Eighth Realm, there hasn’t been much breakthrough. Under the environmental influence of the starfire federation’s rise, the internal culture of the Martial Arts Family is highly upward, placing significant emphasis on the inheritance of tradition and the nurturing of younger generations.
Purely martial arts academies like Martial Abyss have taken this to the extreme.
In other words...
They only fear that the students are not talented enough!
If, in the years to come, someone indeed rises abruptly and opens a new realm for martial arts, it will not only affect the martial arts system but also the entire Starfire Federation.
Candle Kite accompanied him, walking into the dormitory area.
Qin Jin and Bai Huaiyu chose to return to the academy a few days earlier, but many have already arrived in the dormitory area.
After all...
The cultivation environment at home is certainly not better than that within the academy.
As they walked not far into the dormitory area, Qin Jin heard a familiar voice coming from ahead.
"You don’t know; this time’s arena martial display was quite spectacular."
"The youth and middle-aged generations from various arenas within our star system all took the stage, battling each other fiercely for the position of the first principal of the new academy."
"Given the foundation of each arena, if they truly can wholly build this new academy, our Corridor Star System might soon turn into the Eight Great Academies."
"They’re mainly focusing on the Martial Arts Series as well. I heard they don’t plan to recruit students from other systems, clearly targeting our Martial Abyss."
The words fell.
A female voice sounded: "Xie Wuya, you are from a Dao Field background, don’t you like this new academy?"
"You can’t say it like that; being from a Dao Field is not something I could choose, but entering Martial Abyss was my own choice."
"Now, I’m a Martial Abyss person in life, and a Martial Abyss spirit in death, so naturally, I don’t like rivals of the academy."
The voice came through.
Qin Jin approached, and several figures exchanging in the outside world came into view.
They were all S-Class students.
Xie Wuya had his back to Qin Jin, unnoticed by him, but the other few ahead clearly saw his arrival, one of whom shouted: "Qin Jin."
Su Xiangwan.
The dark horse from the academy selection has now been promoted to an S-Class student.
Her tone held a hint of admiration; for martial artists, there is always a distinctive perception towards someone stronger. In the Limit-Breaking Cup, she witnessed Qin Jin’s action firsthand, leaving a deep impression.
"Long time no see."
As her words fell, all other gazes gathered over.
"Qin Jin, finally seeing you again."
Xie Wuya also turned around, looking at Qin Jin: "If it weren’t for receiving your reply during the holidays, I’d have thought you disappeared."
Qin Jin smiled peacefully.
He glanced at several people and quickly said, "You guys carry on chatting, I still have things to do."
After that.
He nodded in greeting, quickly walking towards his residence.
Seeing his departing figure.
After a moment of silence, Su Xiangwan’s voice rang out: "Qin Jin seems even stronger."
"I clearly see his existence with my eyes, but in my perception, I can’t sense him at all, as if he doesn’t exist here."
"Me too."
Another voice sounded, it was Yu Xingchen: "It seems, during this holiday, he never slackened and has advanced further."
He paused briefly and continued: "What do you suppose Qin Jin is rushing off to do?"
"What else could it be?"
Xie Wuya sighed and quickly said, "As I understand him, it must be something related to cultivation."
"Alas."
"My grandfather taught me a lot, but never told me how to deal with a truly unbeatable, monstrously talented, workaholic King of Roll like him!"
As those words fell.
He looked towards everyone: "We must keep striving too: I learned quite a bit from the arena martial display, is anyone interested in trying?"
...
Qin Jin returned to the dormitory.
Xie Wuya wasn’t wrong.
He returned home purposefully for cultivation.
In the Martial Saint Stele, after breaking through the Star Sea Phenomenon, he received the legacy from Mr. Chen Shu.
With a thought, related information rose within Qin Jin’s Spiritual World.
[Carrying Stele Body Refining Skill]
A very humble name.
As his eyes scanned over it, a suspicion suddenly arose in Qin Jin’s heart.
The words [Carrying Stele] are a title established to honor Mr. Chen Shu by future generations.
When Mr. Chen Shu established the Martial Saint Stele and left the legacy, this title might not have existed yet.
"Could it be that this inheritance was originally simply called Body Refining Skill?"
"The words Carrying Stele..."
"Were they added by the Martial Saint Stele?"
"As a Martial God creation, the Martial Saint Stele bears many imprints and might itself possess spirit."
With that thought, Qin Jin’s spirit fell into those large characters.
In the next instant, a tide of information surged into his mind.
...
Thunder Star.
Within the Alternate Space.
The divine body coiled in the sky.
At this moment.
Under the control of the Thunder Proclaimer Observer, the central part of the divine body transformed into a hollow form, the entire divine body resembling a vast Star Ring, with ancient characters constantly changing, sweeping to the sides, leaving the center vacant.
At this moment.
A small portion of the characters within the divine body swept into the hollow area, breaking amidst a roar, transforming into an ineffable supreme power, evolving and forming within the vacant area.
If Qin Jin were here, he would recognize it at a glance.
Though seemingly different, and the power used is different, this step is unmistakably to open a Grotto Heaven!
With the body of the Divine Spirit, attempting the Technique of the Human Race.
Thunder Proclaimer Observer.
After gaining initial insight into the two Immortal Dynasty True Scriptures gifted by Qin Jin, began attempting with its own power to revisit the path of the Immortal Dynasty in the Star Sea!
